SRI KRISHNAN SARMA NAMAH
AHAM ASMIBHO...
This traditional style of introducing oneself that is in practice while seeking blessings from elders is the one that entices me and gives me immense pleasure because of its own Sanskrit verses and ethnic style.
I believe that "ABHIVADHAYE" is just an ethnic social practice for a perfect introduction of oneself.
On this subject I like to have some of my doubts clarified...
1) WE DO "ABHIVADHAYE" WHILE WE DO "SHAASTANGHA NAMASKARAM", SEEKING BLESSINGS OF AN ELDERLY MAN WHO IS A SINGLE PERSON BLESSING US OR SOME ONE WHO IS BLESSING US ALONG WITH HIS WIFE AS A PAIR.
- WHAT IS THE REASON AS PER SHASTRAM/SAMPRADHAYAM THAT DOES NOT PERMIT DOING "ABHIVADHAYE" TO A SINGLE ELDERLY LADY?
2) WHY SUCH A SYSTEM OF "ABHIVADHAYE" NOT BEEN DETERMINED (As suitable) FOR BRAHMIN GIRLS?
3) IS THIS "ABHIVADHAYE" IS JUST AN ETHINIC SOCIAL PRACTICE FOR A PERFECT INTRODUCTION OF ONESELF OR HAS SOME SORT OF RILIGIOUS / VEDIC SIGNIFICANCE?
4) WHY ONE HAS TO KEEP BOTH THE HANDS ON THE EARS AND TELL "ABHIVADHAYE, BENDING ONESELF BEFORE DOING "SHAASTANGHA NAMASKARAM". WHY IT CAN NOT BE TOLD STANDING STRAIGHT AND KEEPING BOTH THE HANDS CLAPSED BEFORE ONE'S CHEST AND JUST HAVING THE HEAD BOWED DOWN?
AND A GENERAL QUESTION IS -
WHETHER PRESENT GENERATION BRAHMIN YOUNGSTERS ARE ALL HAVING THE PRACTICE OF DOING "ABHIVADHAYE" TO THE ELDERS DURING SPECIAL OCCASSIONS OF RILIGIOUS IMPORTANCE? FOR EXAMPLE, WHILE DOING “SHAASTANGHA NAMASKARAM” TO VAATHIYARS/PUROHITHARS DURING “HOMAM”, AAVANI AVITTAM, ETC….
Hope to receive some clarity on some of my doubts....
Cheers...
